Materials
From Fasteners to Finish we use only the best
quality materials. The wood we use is clear cedar.
Vancouver Island is home to the most beautiful cedar in the
world. We are able to go to a local mill and hand pick the wood
for your project ensuring that the grain will be utilized to it's
fullest extent.
Each of our structures are finished with two
coats of a a hand rubbed oil based finish called Naturhaus. We
import it from Germany because we could not find any other product
locally that we like as much. It protects the wood and extends
its life but more important, it allows the natural beauty of the clear
cedar to shine through.
We largely rely on joinery, especially in the
construction of our doors and gates and we avoid the use of glues.
When we do use fasteners, we ensure they are of the best quality
and meant to withstand the elements.
Hardware
Prices for hardware can range from $100.00 for a
gate latch to $3500.00 for an automatic driveway gate system. We
have done a great deal of research on hinges and hardware and can offer
options that both look good and function well in a variety of prices.
Installation
Installation
is site specific and every job will vary greatly. We work with
qualified installers to ensure a proper job is done. On more
complicated installations we may use the services of an engineer.
The designer/builder of Victoria Wood Studio supervises every
installation personally to ensure the standards are in keeping with the
rest of the service that we offer. We ensure that your structure
both looks good and functions well over time.
If you decide to proceed with one of our custom
designed gates and passageways we will put together a design and an
estimate detailing all costs, including installation.
